Undaunted Critic Leads Premiere Applause By Sharon Ruppert Have you ever dreamed of being at the opening night of a big show? My dreams came true on Thursday night, Feb. 12, as I went to the premiere performance of Meredith Willson's The Music Man. THE SHUBERT theatre was liter ally dripping in minks of all kinds and with artistic-looking people. Although my mink is still running around on an animal somewhere, I still felt like a queen as my escort led me to our mezzanine seats. Upon reaching our seats I nearly lost my sophisticated college dignity in peals of laughter when I discovered our seats were nearly five feet apart. In order to see stage left, my date had to peer around the box seats. As you can well imagine, holding hands was next to impossible. These events did not daunt our spirit of the evening however. Suddenly there was a loud noise like that of a train, steam began pouring out of the top and side of the stage, and The Music Man was on its way. The basic story of The Music Man is this. Professor Harold Hill (The Music Man), played by Forrest Tucker, comes to River City, Iowa to sell the townspeople band instruments and uniforms. As every economics major knows, there must be a need for something in order for there to be a demand. Therefore Hill informs the people that there is trouble in River City. HE TELLS them in the song Trou ble to notice the pool table in their town, whether or not their sons buckle their knickers below the knee, or use such expressions as swell or so's your old man. Yes, there's real trouble in River City, with a capital 'T' and that rhymes with 'P' and that stands for POOL. After firmly convincing the people of River City of the trouble, he solves all their problems through the organi zation of a band. Naturally he will sell them the instruments and also guarantee that the band will play. Actually Hill is a fraud and doesn't know a note of music. In the course of the musical he runs into Mayor Shinn who doesn't believe a word Hill says; the Mayor's wife, Eulalie, whom Hill turns into a ballet mistress; the school board which turns out to be a marvelous barber shop quartet, singing such songs as Lida Rose and Sincere; and of course the heroine, Marian the Librarian, who falls in love with him and keeps him from leaving when the town discovers he's a fraud. Hill walks into the hearts of every one of the townspeople and makes them happy and gay through their own music. He teaches them a new dance step called the Shipoopi. Other numbers include Goodnight My Someone, Gary, Indiana, Till There was You, and Rock Island. THE FINAL SCENE shows Hill in court with his band in full uniform. The band must play for him to be ac quitted. I won't spoil the fun for you by telling you the ending for I think everyone of you should see The Music Man and find out for yourself. The costumes of the production are brightly colored and typical of the 1912 period. The dancing is strenu ous and fabulous as is illustrated in what was to me the most exciting number, Seventy-Six Trombones. In this number the entire cast pantomines the instruments of a band and literally becomes just that. The scenery is intricate there is a gre.1t deal of it but it is brought on and off with smoothness and efficiency. As you have gathered, this reviewer does not agree with Sidney J. Harris or Claudia Cassidy who said it was a bore in New York and a worse bore in Chicago, for I love The Music Man, even more then My Fair Lady. One of the best lines of the musical is said by Hill to Marian. It goes like this Some day, little lady, you will find that all your tomorrows are just empty yesterdays. You too will find an empty yesterday if you don't see The Music Man. tional freshman drama student will also be presented. Eligibility for this award is based on work on crews and the number of points attained. Climaxing the program will be a tea attended by alumnae and the parents of the girls in the ceremony. Enter tainment by the alumnae and seniors will close the festivities.
